Garden Hill Assisted Living in Columbus, MS provides an assisted-living level of support designed for residents who need help with everyday tasks while still wanting to maintain as much independence as possible. On-site medical resources include access to a licensed speech therapist for residents dealing with speech, language, or swallowing concerns. Team members are also trained to monitor and manage diabetes, including routine blood glucose checks, insulin administration, and coordination with outside medical professionals when changes in treatment are needed.
Security and staffing measures back up that clinical support. The entire community is secured, with controlled entry points and monitored common areas to reduce the risk of wandering or unauthorized access. Staff members are on duty around the clock, and each apartment is connected to an emergency call system so residents can request immediate assistance at any time of day or night.
Living spaces at Garden Hill vary in size and layout, with private and companion options available. Many residences include wheelchair-accessible showers, individual climate control, cable or satellite television service, and high-speed internet access, while some overlook a landscaped butterfly garden or sit near outdoor seating areas and parking. Because configurations differ, not every accommodation features every item on this list, and prospective residents are encouraged to confirm specific details during a tour.
Meals are prepared by a professional chef and served three times daily, with menus that rotate to include international dishes, vegetarian and vegan selections, and options that are gluten-free, low-sodium, or no-sugar added. Residents may invite family or friends to share a guest meal, and the kitchen team is able to adjust individual plates to meet physician-ordered diet modifications when necessary.
Residents can fill their days with a range of organized and self-directed activities. The community includes an activity center, a library and computer lounge, indoor and outdoor walking paths, raised garden beds, and a swimming pool. Scheduled programs such as chair yoga, karaoke, live music, reminiscence sessions, Montessori-based activities, and intergenerational events are offered regularly, along with social outings, birthday parties, dances, and club meetings.
